"Console Unknown term code of [fd]" error during scheduled job

Hi all,

I have recently upgraded my bacula director from 9.4.2 to 13.0.4. Since
then I’m seeing the following warning in Bacula job notification emails:

  Bacula: Console Unknown term code of xxxxxx-fd

This happens during our nightly catalog backup job, which includes
`RunScript` blocks with several `Console =` commands, like:

  Console = "prune expired volume yes"
  Console = "purge volume action=all allpools storage=StorageStore1"
  ...
  Console = "purge volume action=all allpools storage=StorageStore7"

The job itself runs fine, but this message appears in the mail report.

I suspect Bacula is trying to output colored or terminal-formatted content
when there is no terminal (since this runs as a scheduled job).

My current idea is to replace the `Console =` commands with wrapper scripts
that run `bconsole -n` (to disable colored output), but before I do that:

- Has anyone solved this warning in a cleaner or more official way?
- Is there a way to globally suppress formatted console output from Bacula
in scheduled/non-interactive jobs?

### System Details:

- Bacula Director version: **13.0.4** on **Ubuntu 24.04**
- File Daemon (`aegir-fd`) version: **9.4.2** on **Ubuntu 20.04**

Any input would be greatly appreciated!

Best regards,
Saiful
